Gov’t cautioned against providing ‘unneeded’ projects

The Acting Executive Director of Community Action for Popular Participation (CAAP), Mr Nelson Ananze, has called on Plateau State government to ensure that projects are based on the needs and priorities of communities.

Ananze made the call at a high-level policy dialogue on community development charters organized by CAAP in conjunction with UKaid, ActionAid and BBC Media Action.

He said part of their mandate, which include going to the communities to find out their challenges, has enabled them document the needs of such communities, adding that the dialogue was organized to intimate the government on their findings so that it would not just take certain projects to a community that does not need them.
